Turkish Flag

The Flag and Anthem are very important to¹the Turkish people. The Flag is a respected symbol for the Turks that should always be on the top. There are even rules and laws that protect it². For example it is not allowed to wear flag-printed t-shirts or burn the Turkish flag. It symbolises the national independence war fought³ between 1919 and⁴ 1923. In that period the Ottoman empire collapsed and the new Turkish Republic settled after a number of wars where many people have lost their lives. The red color sybolises the blood and the star with moon the independence.

1: For a discussion of "important to" vs. "important for", see http://www.english-test.net/forum/ftopic21468.html

2: "Protect this respect" sounds weird. Respect is not something that you can legislate. You can make laws that force people to pretend to respect something, but not to actually respect it.

3: "Made" was correct but a little bland.

4: "Between X and Y" or "from X to Y". Not "between X to Y".

Also your English is a mixture of UK and US English. "Symbolises" is UK (US: "symbolizes"), but "color" is US (UK: "colour").
